Black Cats Overlooked Due To Their Colour

I found this post on a site and thought I'd share, it's sad that black cats find it harder to find a good home due to superstition as I find them to be very stunning and mysterious looking kitties. 

Here is a bit from a site I decided to share to raise awareness:

"

It’s hard to believe, but black cats are overlooked because of their colour

It’s a problem shared all over the world. And yet black cats have as much to offer as any other cat. Through no fault of their own, they are overlooked, as most people tend to choose ‘prettier’ coloured cats. Even black kittens are the last to be adopted, while their more colourful siblings are chosen first. And so, black cats spend longer in foster care, waiting for someone to see past their colour…

In some countries black cats are seen as lucky, but in the main it seems they are rejected on a superstitious basis; that they are somehow unlucky or a ‘witches cat’.  Added to that, black cats can be difficult to photograph so their pictures never do them justice.

We know black cats are just as wonderful as any other, with exactly the same needs – to be loved and cared for. If you enjoy the company of cats whatever their colour, please consider adopting a black cat.

Please be careful though, some people use pure white, pure black cats and other animals with superstition linked to them for witchcraft and other things so know who you are giving your cat to and avoid giving around or on superstitious dates.
